Orgeat Syrup

Orgeat Syrup is a sweet syrup made from almonds, sugar, and rose or orange flower water.

It has a pronounced almond taste and is used to flavour many cocktails – especially Tiki cocktails.

Orange Curacao

Orange Curcacao, is basically the “original” version of Blue Curacao. Meaning it’s made from the exact same ingredients and methods, except that it’s made to orange, rather than dued blue!

Orange Curacao is a liqueur flavoured with orange and the dried peel of the bitter orange laraha, a citrus fruit that’s grown on the Dutch island of Curacao

Golden Rum (aka Amber Rum) are medium-bodied, aged Rum that get’s its dark colour from aging in wooden barrels.

Golden Rums tend to have more flavour and are stronger tasking than their lighter counterparts.

For Golden Rum, we recommend:
